Famous quotes containing the words the world and/or world:
“The religion of the Bible is the best in the world. I see the infinite value of religion. Let it be always encouraged. A world of superstition and folly have grown up around its forms and ceremonies. But the truth in it is one of the deep sentiments in human nature.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
“The world is not looking for servants,there are plenty of these,but for masters, men who form their purposes and then carry them out, let the consequences be what they may.”
—Woodrow Wilson (18561924)
